Description
As identification becomes a problem in a world where personal information is easily stolen, many Apogee citizens have adopted a local company’s new solution: Personal ID chips. Specifically, Apogee ID’s Authentic Apogee Product: the Apogee Personal Identifier (APID). Any Apogee citizen can apply for a personal identifier through Apogee ID, and for about $5 for the initial product and $30/month for the security services, citizens can use this chip to replace credit cards, social security numbers, car keys, computer passwords, etc. Most places in Apogee accept APID, and those who get an ID chip often get it implanted under their skin or attached to a discrete accessory such as a necklace or a ring.
